Surprised by the other lukewarm and mixed reviews on Trip Advisor, I went with lower expectations but knew we could not miss the historic and iconic Guinness Brewery. The new facility is based in the old brew/bottling building and is very well presented. They don't advertise it much, but the tour feature to get to learn about pouring a perfect... More

It was really fun to walk through the site...it has 6 levels and tons of history, old advertisements, and merchandise. It can take as long or as short as you want. I skipped the long line for the free audio tour and read the signs and listened to most of the interactive video monitors. The highlight was the pouring class... More

A great time at the Guinnes store house, pull your own perfect pint and get a certificate, enjoy the views from the gravity bar. Soft drink are a bit of rip off if you don't like Guinnes though.

Firstly, I can't judge on the tour because we didn't go on it. We spent so long at Kilmainham Gaol that we had to get back to town. I wanted to stop by the shop to get my Dad a souvenir but were told that you have to do the tour to visit the shop. I imagine there are lots... More

The only negative I had was purchasing my ticket. I felt the signage was a little unclear as to where to go to collect tickets by card, or purchase tickets for cash, etc. It was nice that we got €1 off as we had used the Hop on/Hop off tourist bus. On the positive side, the tour around the building... More

The store house was great to see. I wish we could have done a true brewery tour but it was still cool to see all the old guniess stuff. I would highly recommend a visit here on your trip to Dublin

Although I am a huge Guinness fan and enjoyed my amazing pint at the top galaxy bar, the rest of the storehouse was a huge letdown. It took us over half an hour walking around the building to find the actual entrance. By this time we were starving and thirsty for a pint only to wait in a ginormous que... More

This is the first time and the first stop to visit a beer manufacturing musuem in Dublin. It was so interesting and new to me. It was so amazing to view Dublin by going to the top of the Storehouse. In addition, as I was not a beer drinker, so I those free beers won't be able to creat a... More

My husband and I went to the Guinness Storehouse on our trip to Dublin. It is touristy, and the tour is self guided, but the experience was great. My family is in the beer industry, so I like to think that I have at least a base understanding of how beer is made, but this exhibit was put together as... More

Not much to say, other than this is probably the best brewery tour ever! Pace yourself and learn about the brewing process. The tour is self guided, so spend as much time as you wish at each point. As others have mentioned, Gravity Bar is really cool and offers a nice panoramic view of the city. Book online for a... More
